Government support via the Automotive Transformation Fund (ATF) helped secure major investments in the UK, including the £1 billion electric vehicle hub in Sunderland in partnership between Nissan and Envision AESC.

Envision AESC has stated the facility will have a capacity of 12GWh. Actual production capacity will be a matter for the company.
